Description

This is a clean, polished, north-facing wall with a few very high quality routes.

Getting There

Approach from the top as for The Penthouse. When you are about a 1/4 mile above The Penthouse, locate a giant cairn in the center of the trail. At that cairn, turn right and make your way down the hill side (North-ish). It will seem like you are heading into no man's land! Look for a small perch on the edge of the cliff with a fat, gnarly tree at the edge. The rappel anchors are down in front of the tree.
